Some Toronto councillors making 'pitch' to John Tory to stay as mayor, key ally says.
John Burnside, who serves as Tory’s hand-picked chair of the TTC, told reporters on Tuesday that he would be “in favour” of the mayor remaining in his job and communicated as much during a recent meeting.
“I have spoken to him. He didn't indicate one way or the other. That's his decision to make. But I asked for some time, as did Frances Nunizata and there are other councillors as well. We made our pitch to him,” Burnside said on Tuesday. But he said that he doesn’t believe his conduct is going “to cause the citizens of Toronto to change their mind” about who they want to be mayor for the next four years.
Tory himself hasn’t said anything to suggest that he is considering changing his mind, though it should be noted that he had initially indicated that he would formalize his resignation “in the coming days” and has since backtracked on that timeline.
